We are a long way from our year-end goal, but….

December 29, 2019

It looks like we won’t make our $30k year-end goal, but we are determined to keep training and amplifying local voices and perspectives. NIRV

Many of you have contributed generously, raising $21,893, and we’re very grateful.

With your support we will bring the voices of immigrants and refugees to audiences across our divided country.

With your support – and the drive of our Haitian partners – we hope to contribute to the skills development of video journalists across Haiti in 2020. Like too many places planet-wide, Haitians are being beaten down by weak governance, poor accountability in international aid and the perpetuation of gross economic inequality.  Like so many others in 2019, Haitians have risen and been thrashed and killed in the streets. Unlike many others their story is seldom being heard.  We hope to support their resolve and strengthen their voices.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide to raise another $8,107 by the end of the year.

Very best wishes for your end of 2019 celebrations and for the hope of a brighter more decent 2020.

Michael Sheridan
Founding Director, Community Supported Film

P.S. The NIRV DVD is available and could make for a great new year gift for your loved and loving 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th…generation immigrant!

Michael Sheridan is one of the best teachers one could hope to have. He has a genuine commitment to facilitating students’ ability to realize their vision, which is backed by a deep understanding of technology and technique. I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.

Five Dark Years – the Fall of Humanity and the Silencing of a Generation

Five years have passed since the fall of Afghanistan—a period that, for millions of people, has meant far more than lost years. It has been five years of humiliation, deprivation, fear, silence, and the gradual erosion of hope and human dignity.

Five years ago, Afghanistan fell into the hands of a group that, instead of building a future, closed the doors of life on its people. During these five years, the Taliban have not moved toward reform or change. On the contrary, with each passing day, restrictions have expanded and life has become increasingly difficult for millions of Afghans. The rights to education, work, freedom of movement, social participation, and many of the most basic freedoms of human beings—particularly women and girls—have been taken away.
